A fire incident occurred this morning in the area near the Veles-Prevalec Correctional Institution. Initial reports of the fire surfaced around 09:50 at an open area, and emergency services managed to bring the situation under temporary control. However, conditions changed significantly in the afternoon.
By approximately 13:00, strong winds contributed to the reignition and subsequent spread of the blaze. The fire advanced toward the nearby village of Vojnice, located within the Çashka Municipality. In response to the escalating situation, resources were rapidly mobilized.
Firefighters from the Veles Territorial Fire Department arrived on the scene, supported by a combination of dedicated volunteers, personnel from service companies, and teams from the forestry sector. All available resources were immediately directed to the active fire line. The primary operational focus remained on containing the spread and mitigating further damage from the intense fire.
Authorities worked to establish containment zones as the blaze threatened surrounding residential and natural areas. The swift deployment of multiple agencies was necessary due to the unpredictable nature of the fire, which was exacerbated by adverse weather conditions. Efforts continued throughout the afternoon to stabilize the perimeter and ensure the safety of the local population near the affected zone.
